    Matthew just has it backwards, thats all.  Get Linux, install Xwindows,
    and run a Windows emulator.  then the question becomes, "What good is
    Windows, anyway?"

    Linux runs MOOs, clients, browsers, all kinds of servers, ppp, and nethack!
    and if you want, it can run them all at once!  You can even access your
    dos partitions through linux, although your binaries will be worthless.

    of course, windows is good if you are a developer looking for work.
    hey, it keeps my bills paid!

    well, so that i don't stray too far from MOO, has anyone implemented any
    sort of AI routines in MOO?  I'm interested in getting some NPCs to
    respond "intelligently" to players' actions, but mostly players' words.

    Obviously, I know little of AI, but I am a quick learner.  Really, I are.

    any suggestions?
